Two foreign senators wrote a letter requiring MetaCEO Mark Zuckerberg to end a plan to allow young people to visit Horizon Worlds, the company's virtual world service.

In a letter on March 1st, senators Edmund Markey and Richard Trumenthal made it clear that if the strategic layout of Meta was profit-driven, the plan should not be implemented. Meta revealed that the plan is to "invite young users into a digital space full of potential damage." According to the two due process, allowing children between the ages of 13 and 17 to access the virtual device is "very risky" because of privacy leakage, eye fatigue and cyber violence.

Markey and Trumenthal told Mark Zuckerberg: "Meta's plans for young people in the virtual world are particularly worrying because you have been unable to maintain young users." After Meta has been disposed of, it is unable to protect minors and young children, thus losing the trust of parents, doctors, decision makers and the public.

The two senators cited reports that Instagram was behind many teenage suicidal thoughts, and that the company could not stop the promotion of "cigarettes, alcohol and eating disorders" among young people:

"as our own electors become more and more concerned about the impact of service platforms and social networking applications on the well-being of young people, it is not acceptable for people to immediately drag such young people into a virtual world with understudied and hazardous factors, which will have an impact on their health."

Markey, who represents a junior and intermediate senator from Missouri, has previously signed a law on the environmental hazards of encrypted data mining and called on mining companies to respond to data collection issues. Trumenthal was the driving force behind a law in the last session of the U.S. House of Representatives to allow third-party apps and app stores to operate on devices announced by major technology companies.
